Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I will speak to the regional superintendent in Inuvik and see what possible assistance we can provide to the community so that the vessel that is in need of repair could be used again. We will see if there is some way we can assist the community. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is to the Minister of Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development. My question is in regard to the area of wildlife, and in particular the Wildlife Act itself. The question that I would like to raise to the Minister as most people know, is that several land claims have been settled in the north so far and basically pass through federal legislation to be proclaimed. There is also another element that we are still waiting for which is basically ensuring that the appropriate legislation is passed in this Legislature and also through federal legislation to establish boards and also give the authority to the boards to do such things as to establish quotas for wildlife and also give the wildlife officers in this government the ability to carry out those rules that are laid out in these land claim agreements. I would like to ask the Minister exactly what is being done to ensure that the appropriate legislation is being drafted especially in the area of the Wildlife Act so that these claims can be enacted through the appropriate legislation so that the wildlife officers can carry out their duties and enforce those land claim agreements?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the legislative agenda before division is quite comprehensive and there is no possibility that we could undertake a comprehensive revision of the Wildlife Act before division takes place. Any substantive revisions to the Wildlife Act will have to take place after division. We have been drafting an amendment to the Wildlife Act that could be ready for consideration by the Legislature in the next session perhaps that would make it clear that the provisions of the Gwich'in and Sahtu claims will take precedence over the Wildlife Act. Just to make clear the precedence that the Gwich'in claim and the Sahtu claim have over the existing provisions of the Wildlife Act. This is sort of an interim generic provision that we intend to introduce to make it clear where we stand in regard to the wildlife provisions of the Sahtu and Gwich'in claims. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, having the legislation done, is there someone in the department now drafting the appropriate legislation so that it will be available to come forth to this House to be debated and put into force? Is there someone in the department now drafting this legislation?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we have sent letters out to the Gwich'in Tribal Council, the Sahtu Secretariat, the Gwich'in Renewable Resources Board and the Sahtu Renewable Resources Board in late August to inform them of this and whatever communications we have sent to these boards as well as draft provisions we may have started drafting. We would be happy to share this with the Member to keep him informed of the work we are doing in this area. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in the Minister's earlier statement he stated that he would have something available for this Legislature, did the Minister state that he would have something at the next sitting of this Legislature, which I believe is going to be the November/December session.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would hope that we can meet that time-line. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question at this time will be directed to the Premier. Mr. Speaker, in the Premier's statement earlier, he speaks of a vision. Our vision must include northern people taking greater control of their future and becoming more responsible for their own well-being and further it goes on to say it must include modern health care, education, housing and social programs which are provided by and for Northerners. Mr. Speaker, I would like to know from the Premier if the idea of residents of the north taking more responsibility for their own well-being, could he give us an idea of what does he mean. Right now we know we deliver health care, education, housing and social programs. Would those change much or what responsibility would we be taking on? Are we going down to families or is this organization and groups? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, so as we are talking of taking control of our future and taking more responsibility, we are talking of programs and services that are being delivered on behalf of either the federal government or
